Can you also tell which ones they are? On what factual basis?
I, personally, had noted e.g. in the confluence-Wiki pages which are important
for our daily work AND remain. Have you read that?
I am aware. It is not about a generic archive rampage. I have more in
mind to discuss a process first, then start page by page.
And I have put 3 pages on the line for start. I just want to hint that
there are more, we might want to archive. But we should discuss those
pages each,
since Information should have no value for OpenOffice 4.1.0.

I had already suggested, and continue to suggest, we move all old pages to an
archive.
If only certain pages should be moved there, then this must be voted, because
it can't be that someone decides randomly.
Well this Idea did not reach consent. We need another Idea. I am fine
with reaching consent page by page.
And as you see I already did this with the 3 pages I mentioned earlier.
There is no rush,
yes, that is how it is. Care is far more important than speed
But to forget stuff is important or we run all the time with loads of
old baggage around.

It is not your past, but that of other people who have long worked here with
diligence where others OO not yet even knew!
I have never said that. If it were mine, I would not have started a
discussion about it. I would have acted. Instead I start a discussion to
achieve consent.
How we should deal with our heritage? And just in case any one assumes I
have made my mind up: No I have not. And your opinion is of course also
welcome. But you sound very reserved. I would like to see if you think
about it how we could process this correctly so it works for all. Not
taking in account the workload or the time it needs.
Just think on the right things, that we need to do.
my opinion is quite clear:
the memory of the performance of former project members must not be erased,
even if they are not PMC members.
The former work at OOo was worth at least as much as the current work at AOO.
This is a valid thought. However there are more ways to archive this,
then dumping a state X into an Archive. We do not need to preserve every
commit online.
Our code repository does also not contain the complete commit history.
I heard so many stories by now, and none is documented anywhere. I do
not think keeping the pages as is is telling anyone the history on this
project.
This is by the way I suggested "outsiders" that focus on preserving
history. Maybe I am a bit inspired by my own comparison that we are not
a museum,
but maybe one would be good for the complete community. I do not know.
It is just a wired Idea. But I am fine with going to archive stuff
somehow to get a better Idea.
